Set against the status seeking backdrop of New York City, the three-storey brownstone on the Upper East Side has become a sexual war zone with the lines clearly drawn between the three sexy socialites living in the main house, and the two slutty bad girls living in the basement apartment.

Caught in the middle is Luke Prescott, political protege, and conflicted fiancé of blonde beauty Kendra Mercer, who can’t seem to stop fantasizing about the dirty girls downstairs, especially the sex kitten with the killer curves, Cady Lane, who makes no apologies about going after what she wants.

At the same time, Kendra is tired of playing by the rules and being the perfect society girl, and harbors some kinky desires of her own. When the right kind of bad boys show up on the scene with intentions of seducing the bride-to-be, chaos ensues.

Tricks, deception, and dirty sex games abound in this wild modern tale that shamelessly taps into some of our most basic desires and instincts. Just who are the players and who are the pawns? The only thing that’s certain is that when it comes to the playground on Brentwood Street, lust overrides logic, and nothing is as it seems.

For those that are familiar with the two original short stories (originally titled 'The Bitches in the Basement' and 'The Babes on Brentwood'), this is the full and complete novel. I've 'remixed' the first two stories and added a few surprises, and then fleshed it out into a full length novel. This takes this storyline from what was originally posted on Lush (now hidden) from about 16K words to over 50K words. With six chapters total, there is a lot of new material and a lot of hot sex in this novel! :)

Here's the breakdown:

A Little More Background:

My favourite kind of story has always been where there's no distinct hero or villain. I love to play with character flaws. In the same way, I believe that we all have different sides to ourselves, some remaining hidden for only a chosen few to see and in some cases, we have sides that remain hidden even to ourselves. In this novel, Luke and Kendra are unable to reconcile their private and public faces, even from each other, both believing that the other expects and wants them to be a certain kind of person, even within their own relationship. I wanted to explore the idea of our secret selves and our primal desires, the kinds of things you might hesitate telling your significant other for fear you might be judged or looked at differently. We all put our best (and least controversial) selves forward in the burgeoning stages of a relationship but what happens when social pressure and expectations keep us from getting beyond this roadblock?

This is the crux of the novel and the backdrop to all the sordid sex-capades that result, as a beautiful, outwardly successful Manhattan couple come to terms with their kinkier urges on the precipice of their wedding. Their decisions bring both a sense of sexual liberation as well as total chaos into their lives in the process.

Cady Lane might be my favourite 'bad girl' character of all the erotic stories I've written. She is free with her sexuality and lives only for her own wants and needs with a cheeky, playful spirit and an extremely devious mind always looking for a golden opportunity to further her game. Most of us aren't this ruthless in reality, but it's easy to slip into her mindset and understand why she sees the world in the way she does. She enters the scene and sets off a chain reaction of events and eventually culminates in a intensely wild (ie. filthy) showdown and confrontation that will have you on the edge of your seat.

For those that have enjoyed this storyline and do choose to buy the book, please let me know your thoughts on it after you've read it. I'm really happy with the way it has turned out. Writing this book has allowed me to give more psychological depth to the characters and the choices they've made along the way and quite a few new twists and turns that you definitely won't be expecting.

As well, I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for your continued support with my writing in 2012. It's been quite a ride and I look forward to bringing you more in the New Year!

CONGRATULATIONS, ASH! *runs off to buy multiple copies on amazon, gets out panty liners, a towel, my collection of lelos, alerts the soon to be wife, and gets ready to spend a great deal of time reading to each other in between rather intense orgasms*

Congratulations on your latest book, Ash, and wishing you all the best with it! I love the cover.

But isn't that cover model biting into the wrong end of a strawberry? Most intelligent people are introspective and doubt themselves while many fucktards are proudly over-confident. - a tip of the hat to Charles Bukowski

You guys are amazing! Thank you for the support. And an extra special thanks to the wonderful Lushies (and non-Lushies!) who have downloaded a copy of my book and have continued to be champions of Lush Publishing.

I've been getting enthusiastic feedback from a couple of people that have already bought and read The Bitches in the Basement. They were die-hard fans of the original story so I'm glad they enjoyed the extra-kinky direction I took in the novel version. I was so turned on while writing this, sometimes it was a struggle to get through a scene without taking a few 'breaks'.

Btw...that is the direction to take...regardless of genre, novels sell better than short story collections, and are easier to get reviewed, etc...

I wish you luck on this too, but as mentioned, you probably don't need it...you might just turn out to be Lush Publishing's answer to 50 Shades of Whatever...You know you want it, you know you need it bad...get it now on Amazon.com...Lush Erotica, an Anthology of Award Winning Sex Stories

I do think it's important to be relentless in the pursuit of your dreams. If you never try, you'll never know. It took me a while to get the courage to try though. Now that the ball is rolling, I don't know why I ever hesitated in the first place.

You can expect more eBooks and Lush freebies in 2013.

Wishing everyone a bright start to the new year! May the tides of both fate and chance let everyone's lucky number be 13 this year. xo
